Ray

RAY began his career as a musician in 2003 and has an extensive discography. He is involved in projects such as The Poppers, Keep Razors Sharp and RAY.

As a musician, he has collaborated with bands such as Delfins and The Legendary Tigerman, demonstrating his vocal and artistic versatility. He has spent the last few months composing and performing live under his own name, accompanied by a five-piece band.

In 2021, he released his debut album, the self-titled RAY, which was hailed by the press as one of the best Portuguese albums of that year. In 2023, he featured on the single “Bright Lights, Big City” from The Legendary Tigerman’s multi-award-winning album ZEITGEIST, and is a guest musician on the artist’s tour.

He is now back with the album “Buffalo”, produced by Paulo Furtado (The Legendary Tigerman), which is due for release this year. This intimate and profound work was composed by the artist on his acoustic guitar, the instrument with which he will perform on stage, alone, honouring his compositional process.

“Buffalo”, RAY’s second full-length album, is the artist’s reflection on his surroundings. Known for his critical and astute vision, on this album RAY tackles themes such as death, love, everyday life, and even his constant rebirth and reinvention as a human being, as well as eternal existential angst and his observation of the chaotic world around him. There is a sense of maturity and urgency in RAY, ensuring that every word carries its due weight when released into the microphone.

In 2025, his single “Only Light” was named Song of the Year by the SPA.
